Congratulations! You have been invited to attend Hope's Peak Academy thanks to your exceptional skills. As this is a school whose name carries great weight with teachers who not only educate but research all skills as well it was hard to say no to the invite, whether it was by you or your gurdian. The fact that those who leave this prestigious high school typically end up in high positions of whatever field they go to surely helped as well. A shining future awaits you.

Or so it seemed...

The moment you stepped foot on the campus everything went hazy and you blacked out. When you awoke you were in a classroom, alone with no recollection of how you arrived. The windows are barred with steel plates that cannot be pried off or broken. The exit is now a large steel door with machine guns guarding it. No matter how hard you look you will not find a way out.

So how do you escape? You graduate of course! However to graduate you must kill someone. Not only that but you have to get away with it too. Or you can just live the rest of your miserable life out trapped in the school!

​

• some of these rules may be deemed unusual but please Bear with me.
• this is a dangan ronpa inspired rp, however there will be no canon characters allowed besides monokuma who the mastermind controls. the story will naturally stray as well and there is no need to know of the series to rp here.
• on the note of the mastermind one can apply to be them by sending me a message before the rp starts. i figure it better than everyone looking to my characters and knowing one of them must be the mastermind. more surprise that way! and whoever gets the role will work alongside me in the plot.
• there is no set activity rule as of yet but i don't want the thread to go inactive. so please try to post as often as you can! also try to make your character active in the setting. they can explore, plan, study, and kill at will. there does not need to be an event to prompt them. however if it gets stale one will be presented to the cast to get things moving.
• this is a rp that revolves around murder. so be expecting of it.
• be aware that your character does not have to kill but will always be at the risk of being killed. if you wish you can talk to the other members and plot a murder out, the victim making a post with details of the murder while the murderer remains anonymous thus making the trials solved by actual deduction. this is an optional thing though, and can be rejected if too many people are against it. hints will be given out if it is made too hard as well.
• with that said, murderers must message me or post in the ooc before they go out to kill so i can use a RNG to decide who lives and who dies. this should avoid all god modding in the situation.
• in the series any lost trial would result in everyone but the killer dying. as that can make this harder to get far only one person will die each lost trial unless it is stated otherwise. the one who dies can be selected by the murderer post trial, their identity kept hidden to the other characters until they figure it out. this also makes the killer unable to leave until they are the last one standing.
• another thing the other characters will not know are the SHSL {Super High School Level) titles of the others. the only way these will be known if they're told or seen.
• SHSL titles cannot be repeated. nor can there be more than one reserve student. you will be able to list it as ??? if the real one is sent to me and it's approved.
• there is no character limit but once this starts there will be no more characters accepted.

​

• SHSL Title: the field the character excels at; ie SHSL programmer, SHSL gardener, etc
• Reserve Student: a student who does not have a SHSL title and was accepted through a lottery
• Monocells: combining the id cards with cellphones for this. however unlike normal cells they cannot call anyone and can only send texts to fellow students. they look like an iPhone with apps, one being the ID Card with name, age, gender, and SHSL title shown, another being the map though only the unlocked floors are shown, the school rule book and then the Trial Log which keeps all data on each trial, the evidence being updated by the students. more on the process will be shown in the rp.
• will update as needed

​

• Floor One

• 
  Within the first floor is the entrance hall, locked up tight. The school store is found here as well, along with the A/V Room and Classrooms 1-A and 1-B. Attached to the First Floor is "Hotel Despair", the dorm area for the students, which includes a cafeteria, trash room and bathhouse. Additionally there is a nurses office and entrance to the Gym. Lastly is an untitled room, but it is off limits until it is time for a Class Trial. It connects to the elevator which leads to the courtroom.
  
  Map of the first floor.
  Map of Hotel Despair. I'll assign rooms as people sign up. Along with that you'll be told things like how good's the lock and the contents which a RNG will decide. If we get more than 15 characters they may wind up sharing a room. Hopefully they don't kill you in your sleep!

Hotlinking to zerochan fails to work so the appearance link needs to be fixed.


So about how murders are done... there's three options. I kinda took out who lives and who dies by simply selecting the winner right away, but a RNG can still be applied each option. Will need feedback on that though.

1.) There's the classic just rp it out on the thread. The pro is that the thread stays active and everyone will see everything that happens. The con, however, is fear of fourth wall breaking. It can happen even unintentionally and then the trial gets solved way too easily. (I rp'd in a rp like this elsewhere and the fourth wall breaking became unBearable which is why I'm being so wary of it. However everyone here could be better with it in which case this writing will all be for nothing.)

2.) The murder messages me and get together with the victim to have it done through PMs. The pro is no worry about the fourth wall breaking but then I'll worry about thread activity.

3.) This is what I thought of as a solution to my worries while thinking about the above two. The murderer messages me the details like who are they attacking, how they approach, and what weapon they have. Per example... Persona A decides to try and kill Person B while they are in the library. They pretend to greet them friendly and wait to see their reaction. Once they deem there's an opening, they attack. They're going to try and strangle them with their bare hands.

After getting the message I post in the thread with something like "Someone approaches Person B" and then they can react. Everyone reading will naturally know something is up, but of course Person B will have to react as they would in that situation. And unless the attacker is wearing a mask they will know who it is so they will get a message but will have to leave it out of their post. And then the murderer keeps posting through me. If it's my character they're attacking though option one or two may have to be used.

The third method won't just be limited to murders though. How the monocells work will be explained by monobear himself when they're introduced but they're pretty much just what I already said in the op. However there will likely be an anonymous feature where someone can send me a text that will be posted in the thread to keep the sender hidden if they so choose, as everyone's names will already be registered in the phones. Will probably be limited to one-three anonymous texts a day, depending.

What we use is up to you guys. Hopefully anyone who joins after this sees this and add in a comment with their profile. Also sorry for the wall of text. Ask about anything you need clearing up or bothers you.

Option one can be used regardless of anything said by the way. 2 or 3 will only be used if you guys like the idea. If rejected then it'd just be one.

 

It should work now.

Also, I vote for option three.

 

I got an access denied page. So still needs to be fixed, but since I went ahead and did this earlier anyway here are the details.

Renshou has been assigned room number 8.
State of main door lock: strong, comes with a chain
State of bathroom lock: nonexistent
Furniture: broken desk (perfect shape except the missing leg), empty dresser, kid's sized bed
Weapon: a prop knife used in plays found in a dresser drawer

 

Fixed it again

 

Yeah I can see it now! Thank you for putting up with the hassle.
